That seems fine, tho for some of distros that do lots of python customizations (tried the docker ubuntu image for 18.04.3) it get a bit strange:

Python 3.6.9 (default, Jan 26 2021, 15:33:00)
[GCC 8.4.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sysconfig
>>> import distutils.sysconfig
>>> sysconfig.get_path('platlib')
'/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages'
>>> sysconfig.get_path('purelib')
'/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages'
>>> distutils.sysconfig.get_python_lib()
'/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages'
